A Dog's Afterlife

I feel it's about time I update you all with what I've been up to in the world of Pre Production, so prepare for a fair few posts...
Since my group is made up of four people we are required to produce two Production Bibles for our Pre Production module, so 'Chasing Birds' is our first film and the second one we came up with is a feature film called 'A Dog's Afterlife'. It is based upon the Pick and Mix cards I got and it originated from my plot about different heavens for different species. 
A dog called Doug dies in a car crash alongside his owner, but in the no man's land between the heavens the two are separated into Animal Heaven and Human Heaven. Doug desperately wants to find his owner and is not prepared to just sit around with the other animals and not question where all the humans are. The animals are fed everyday in the canteen by a zebra, but Doug is suspicious of him and decides to follow him when he leaves. Once the zebra is away from the animals he pulls off his zebra mask, revealing himself as a man. Intrigued, Doug continues to follow him and is led out of Animal Heaven and into Human Heaven. He confronts the man and pounces on him, pinning him to the ground and demanding he explain what's going on, but it turns out the man is a laid back, friendly guy who decides to help Doug out. The guy, Ernie, explains how humans like to keep the animals segregated as they don't believe they have souls and how he is a cook in the palace kitchens in Human Heaven, with his other duty being to feed the animals.
Ernie helps Doug to infiltrate Human Heaven by teaching him to act like a human, giving him clothes and teaching him to stand on two feet. The pair then set out to find Doug's owner.
